Ms. Lang Thi Thuy, a teacher at Khoi village school, said: "This school is about 6 km from the main school. In previous years, there was no waiting room, so teachers had to stay at local houses to wait for class. There were days when the houses around the school were absent, so the teachers had to wait outside the school yard to go to class. This year, thanks to the parents and people in the village building a waiting room, all the teachers are very happy." |
